On BH3 mimetics and Ca2+ signaling [PDF]

, 2017
BH3 mimetics are anticancer agents that reproduce the spatial arrangement of the BH3 domain of Bcl-2 family proteins. Just like the BH3-only proteins, these compounds bind to the hydrophobic cleft of the pro-survival Bcl-2 members such as Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL,

Injectable pH Responsive Conductive Hydrogel for Intelligent Delivery of Metformin and Exosomes to Enhance Cardiac Repair after Myocardial Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Injectable pH responsive conductive hydrogel for intelligent delivery of metformin and exosomes to alleviate myocardial ischemia‐reperfusion injury. The hydrogel responds to the weakly acidic microenvironment of ischemic injury and can significantly reduce the production of intracellular ROS and enhance cardiac conduction, thereby resisting apoptosis ...

Tailoring a Functional Synthetic Microbial Community Alleviates Fusobacterium nucleatum‐infected Colorectal Cancer via Ecological Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The bottom‐up strategy based on multiomics data is used for the SynCom design, and it successfully inhibited F. nucleatum growth and achieved stable colonization in vivo. In addition, it promoted tryptophan metabolism and secondary bile acid conversion, reduced lipid accumulation, relieved microbiome disorder, decreased inflammatory reaction, and ...

Exploring the Conformational Space of Bcl-2 Protein Variants: Dynamic Contributions of the Flexible Loop Domain and Transmembrane Region

Molecules, 2019
Members of the Bcl-2 protein family regulate apoptosis through interactions with several proteins. A critical intrinsically disordered region (IDR) present in some members of the Bcl-2 family is essential for their function.

Cyclic peptides discriminate BCL-2 and its clinical mutants from BCL-XL by engaging a single-residue discrepancy

Nature Communications
Overexpressed pro-survival B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) family proteins BCL-2 and BCL-XL can render tumor cells malignant. Leukemia drug venetoclax is currently the only approved selective BCL-2 inhibitor. However, its application has led to an emergence of

Bcl-XL is qualitatively different from and ten times more effective than Bcl-2 when expressed in a breast cancer cell line

BMC Cancer, 2006
Background Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL are anti-apoptotic paralogues that inhibit apoptosis elicited by a wide variety of stimuli, and play critical roles in cancer development and resistance to treatment.

Enhanced Activities of OCT4 and SOX2 Promote Epigenetic Reprogramming by Shortening G1 Phase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fusing the VP16 domain to OCT4 and SOX2 (OvSvK) enhances iPSC generation by activating downstream targets, including those regulating the cell cycle. This accelerates reprogramming by shortening the G1 phase and reducing H3K27me3 levels. Modulating Ccnd1, Cdkn2a, and Ccne1 improves efficiency, linking cell cycle to epigenetic remodeling.

Glutathione and Bcl-2 targeting facilitates elimination by chemoradiotherapy of human A375 melanoma xenografts overexpressing bcl-xl, bcl-2, and mcl-1

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2012
Background Bcl-2 is believed to contribute to melanoma chemoresistance. However, expression of Bcl-2 proteins may be different among melanomas. Thus correlations among expression of Bcl-2-related proteins and in vivo melanoma progression, and resistance ...
